AB ada the headlight adjuster equipment than can adjust the headlight to factory spec... every impressive! If u service your car at AB, its FOC.

i don't think beam pattern can't be adjusted. AB only can adjust beam direction

True... pattern is created by the reflector behind the bulb.. AB can only adjust where the beam should be aimed.

Its quite impossible to get it right without the help of a big wall or the AB equipment.

Errmm..yesterday try to adjust on own effort, but still can not solve the problem, will go to AB later..Call them b4, their charge RM55. But now seems that not the headlight problem, may be caused by the level sensor underneath the engine bay..

hi guys,

i do agree with u guys that beam pattern cannot be changed. my concern is the blind spot, i have seen some cars with projector headlamps like the waja having blind/ gray spots, whereby the beam is only focused on certain area.
hmmm.... i wonder

Don't know about the pattern but this was a useful article I found in re-adjusting my headlamp direction after I recently replaced them myself. Quite easy to do and I think can be used to "fine tune" the beam direction.

Beam pattern is not adjustable as it is the property of the lens and projectors but if you want to adjust the directional pattern then there are actually 3 sections where you can fiddle with [using a slot and a phillips screwdriver] to get the perfect spotlighted sector.
You pm me your HP no and I will lead you thru the procedure, it's too lengthy to type out here as I am a one-finger typist, sorry.
